Research has shown that the use of Digital Technologies (DT) in enhancing productivity and performance in higher education institutions (HEIs) can never be underestimated, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This strange incidence shook the whole world with pronounced impacts on every aspect of human life, and the education system was not spared. Though a large volume of research on COVID-19 pandemic has been published as a result of this outbreak, few studies have considered the impact of DT on education/learning. Educators and students of HEIs need to embrace the use of DT in delivering lectures and as well as learning to keep afloat. Unfortunately, educators and students as major HEIs stakeholders have not taken full advantage of its benefits, hence the motivation for this research. The methodology adopted entails a comprehensive, systematic, and expository review of selected published articles on DT in journals, books, and conference proceedings from different databases including Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, Academia.edu and Research gate. This study presents the findings from a scientometric review of literature on the impact of deploying DTs in delivering lectures, especially from the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. The outcome would add to the body of knowledge, attending to concerns about whether or not the adoption of DTs has had any significant impact on teaching, learning, and assessment, as well as techniques for leveraging DT even for learners in hard-to-reach communities in this new normal.\n\nKeyword: Scientometric Review, Impacts of Digital technology, Higher Educational Institution, COVID-19
